On-Yomi: カ — Kun-Yomi: ひま、いとま
Koohii stories:
1) [Zareon] 5-4-2007(314): Some jackass-like people have way too much spare time. You can find video's of them all over the internet, if you like such things, you can watch it all day. You see them stapling their mouths shut, or throwing eachother upside down in boxes or kicking each other in the crotch.
2) [Katsuo] 14-2-2008(94): Tip: The complex right side of this kanji appears twice more in Heisig. He later names it "hobby". REF: shrimp (#2689 蝦), haze (#2779 霞).
3) [snallygaster] 18-6-2008(48): I avoid using "mouth" here because it makes me mess up the stroke order. Instead I use a flag/staple combo. Hopefully you've seen the Justin Timberlake "dick in a box" spoof. Someone has a lot of spare time, so he decides to spend the day making an especially elaborate dick in a box. There's a flag stapled to the box as decoration (like wrapping paper). He rigs it up so he can instantly flip the box inside-out to reveal his crotch. Well, it's a vivid image once you get it. He's my hero.
4) [Peppi] 17-9-2009(23): A pervert's hobby (see Katsuo): He turns two boxes upside-down ("コ") and staples them together - that makes them look like a bench. Then he hides in it and waits until some girls come and sit down. What can he see? Of course their crotches! If he does that all day he won't have spare time for anything else.
5) [inaka_rob] 17-4-2012(13): WARNING EXPLICIT!!! In my spare time, basically all DAY long, I STAPLE a few things to the wall. a picture of a woman's mouth and outward facing "box". I think you know what I do with my crotch.
